teaching sustainability in an engineering curriculum is to foster civicresponsibility and develop informed citizens who are responsible to their professions,communities, posterity and to the world. This paper involves a guided student study ofsustainability in engineering. Essentially students began to investigate how we as engineersutilize and implement existing research and products into delivery to the customer particularly interms of green engineering. Due to rising costs in energy, engineering services delivered need tobe self sustaining whether new or reconstructed.The course provided the students the ability to investigate and document green constructionpractices and its impact on sustainability in real world applications.

Suchtools are comfortable extensions or analogs to similar tools used in engineering applications. These three tools are explained, and simple examples are given. The tools have been in use inan Organizational Behavior and Theory course for the M.A. degree in Organizational Leadershipat Gonzaga University.

The Navy invited our team to join in the challenge ofdeveloping an ACT chamber that more closely mimics real-world conditions in order to test howa material might corrode during service, and to better predict lifetime and repair cycle [3].For the academic year 2020-21, a mechanical engineering capstone team at Mason was tasked byDON to continue a project that was started by two of our capstone teams in the previousacademic year. The purpose of this project is to develop a chamber that will allow the DON tosimulate metal corrosion in marine environments. Since naval assets are exposed to saltwater forlong periods of time, components of these assets must be tested to determine their longevity

, onlythose students receive benefits from the extracurricular activity. Additionally, since the activity isusually informal, the students may only identify the activity as extracurricular and not makeconnections between the activity, their schoolwork, and real world applications. Byincorporating after school activities with content in the classroom, deeper connections can bemade as well as impacting a larger demographic of students. Thus, integrating informal learningwith formal learning serves the dual purpose of reaching more students as well as providing avehicle for interactive learning activities in the formal setting. This paper provides a frameworkfor interweaving regional informal learning activities with a sequence of elective courses

Kolb’s experiential learning model is based on such transactions,where knowledge is created through the transformation of external, real-world experiences. Oneform of incorporating real-world experiences involves service learning, where students areactively involved with community-based experiences meeting one or more societal needs. It wasposited that repurposing the software application project to incorporate service learning conceptscould better serve the students involved. Therefore, in 2014 the project was revised in the spiritof experiential learning to meet the needs of clients from the field of education. The project hassince expanded to redirect the narrative

Industry and academic panels, universitycoalitions, and individual researchers have studied engineering education curricula and made manyrecommendations for engineering educators (1-4). As a result, undergraduate engineering education in the UnitedStates has undergone many changes in response to criticism about the ability of graduating engineers to succeed inthe “real world”. As part of these changes, many engineering schools are introducing design early in a student’scurriculum - as early as the freshmen year (5-7).

To address this problem, we can turn to competency-based education (CBE)[8], [13]. CBE is not a new pedagogical concept. It has a relatively long history in K-12education and higher education [14], [15]. According to Geravis, 2016, CBE can trace its originsin US education back to the Morill Land-Acts of 1862 and the notion of applied education.CBE focuses on having students demonstrate the mastery and application of knowledge andskills beyond the confines of the classroom (i.e., in the real world).
